Nature reserve with challenging trails, tropical foliage, and wildlife
"One of the country’s oldest forest reserves (established in 1883) hosting one of the richest ecological systems in the area, with towering dipterocarps, thorny rattan and diverse wildlife. Hikers can explore numerous routes that vary in scenery and difficulty, encounter reminders of World War II history along the way, and reach the nation’s highest natural point — a hill rising to 163 metres." - Sanjay Surana and Syahirah Mazlan
"If you want a workout, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve's steep ascent to the summit is perfect for working on those gams during a morning hike." - Rachel Eva Lim
"For a tougher workout I head to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to attempt the steep, challenging 163m climb to the summit, choosing from several paths of varying difficulty after checking the signage at the base of the hill." - Rachel Eva Lim
"A compact but verdant reserve centred on a 163m hill with several trails of varying difficulty that lead to a summit; visitors are advised to check trail signage before setting off. The greenery makes it a popular spot for a solid workout or a serene solo stroll, and it gets noticeably busier as the day progresses, so early starts are recommended for a quieter experience." - Rachel Eva Lim
"One of Singapore’s few remaining patches of primary rainforest, visited as part of the Coast-to-Coast route and valued for its biodiversity and hiking opportunities." - Charlene Fang
